I was learned enough in school to know when teachers were “teaching” something oversimplified. They uniformly acknowledged that when asked, until one didn’t. That one didn’t care about the nuance and …

Just not so. My neighborhood has a tradition of summer “wine walks” even though homes are widely spaced. It’s not about place, it’s about attitude.

Exactly. In a world of many resolvers, poisoning a few doesn’t matter. In all likelihood the folks consuming these streams aren’t using mainstream DNS anyway.

It’s an interesting question. The bar would be the least they could possibly do, obviously (as it is now), so is there a case for raising that bar at all?

Can you cite actual example of such “founding documents”?

Definitely a fair point. But I observe that dS/dt may not be positive already.

And many are not. How many Python shops are living in the past? It’s the same problem everywhere.

Just like for windows or Linux, in other words. The dotnet tooling is amazingly friction and ceremony free these days.

Maybe. It might be that the “industry” continues on without good code, slowly dying.

To each their own, but wow. In healthy environments people are paid to do what makes the team most effective.

So your point is that youngsters are the only ones that understand “modern” software? Or economic crisis? Or both? Stereotyping is fine as long as it’s understood to be fundamentally wrong and ineffic…
